Everyone has heard of Linux operating system! Linux was born in the early 90 of 20th century and became famous in the late 90 and began to be used by many people. The famous "open source" movement is to make new Linux programs continue to appear, so that Linux has been further development, especially in the server area has been a large application.
What about the DOS that everyone uses or loves? I don't know how many people think that DOS is obsolete, or that no one has developed new software for it. This is clearly not aware of the development of DOS. In fact, "open source movement" is the movement of programmers to design new software that exposes their own code to non-Windows operating systems that expose their own source code, including DOS and Linux, so, in this campaign, the new software for DOS and Linux is constantly appearing, and the quality is high, and development groups are growing. However, compared with foreign countries, the domestic new DOS software promotion is far less positive than abroad, and the domestic Linux software promotion seems to be more positive than abroad. Many people say that the DOS era is over, the right thing to say is that the old DOS era is over, and in today's new DOS era, not only has a large number of loyal enthusiasts constantly write new practical programs for DOS, but along with the current Linux with the "open source" and other sports continue to develop. So why do many people not know? The starting stationmaster in his website's homepage said: "We (referring to domestic netizens) General E level is not high, general information about the state of the computer is from the news media, may be some people think that the DOS-related things will not bring benefits, DOS has faded out of these people and some media out of sight, Let a lot of people think that DOS is obsolete. "This is probably the domestic DOS is not very popular main reason!"
In fact, compared to Linux, DOS no matter in the number of software, user base and function is not inferior, Linux has the function of Dos almost all (of course, with the software launched in recent years compared), and DOS There are many features Linux does not have. Both DOS and Linux are open, and people are free to develop their software. The number of DOS software is quite large, there are hundreds of thousands of less to say (for example, there are more than 40,000 dos viruses), far exceeding the number of Linux software. With the development of Linux and the support of its enthusiasts, Windows has been challenged, but in fact Linux is only more suitable for high-end servers, rather than on desktops. In contrast, DOS is the most suitable for individual users, not only low demand, practical, and its overall function is not worse than Linux. If you compare it to size, Linux is really scary, like a red Hat Linux installation disk with four CDs (including some drivers and apps, of course). So the development of dos in recent years behind Linux is mainly because there is not enough publicity. Therefore, if we are aware of this, the situation will certainly be greatly improved. Many people now use DOS as an adjunct to Windows and a collection, rather than actually using DOS as a practical use of Linux. Because of this mentality, so many people are not willing to develop new DOS software, so that should be in a positive development era of DOS instead appear more and more backward. What a pity it is!
Therefore, let us develop DOS together, let DOS powerful!
